Brady Family Ham is the story of two families with a passion for crafting Real Irish Ham. It all began in 1978 when Mary & Ozzie Brady decided to cook and sell quality hams, produced from their own kitchen in Co. Kildare. They cured and cooked these hams using a traditional family recipe – the same recipe we use today.
Our Two Families
Staying True To Tradition
In 2000, the O’Brien Family purchased Brady Family Ham intending to take the business to new heights without altering the craft and traditional methods used to make the ham. That is exactly what they did…
Brady Family Ham then became the first ham to receive Bord Bia Quality Assurance and went on to win countless awards for its taste and flavour in the years to follow.
Supporting Our Communities
Brady Family has been the proud sponsor of Kildare GAA, LGFA and Camogie since 2012. We are also a proud charity partner of Barretstown and sponsor their annual Big Picnic event every summer.
